CURTAIN- POLE SOCKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 461,37*?, dated October 13, 1891. Application iled February 21, 1891. Serial No. 382,287. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, HARRY TAYLOR, of the city, county, and State of New York, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Pole Sockets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved curtain-pole socket of that class which can be vreadily removed from and replaced on the by short slits that serve to lock the holder in position on the socket of the disk when the tongue is placed in position in the socket for supporting the holder and pole.

In the accompanying` drawings, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved curtain-pole socket. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the same, said figures showing the socket applied in position for supporting the pole; and Figs. 3 and 4 are respectively a rear elevation of the cylindrical holder and a front elevation of the socketplate for supporting the holder.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. Y

Referring to the drawings, A represents a. sheet-metal disk, which is nailed, screwed,`or otherwise attached to the jamb of a door or window-casing, and which is provided with a fiat socket a, that is bent up from the disk and extended from the upper part of the samein downward direction to about the middle of the disk, as shown clearly in Fig. 4.

B is a cylindrical holder, which is provided at its outer circumference with an inwardlybent flange b and with a downwardly-benttongue C, that is made integral with the holder and separated from the fiange b by a short slit b. at each side of the tongue C. Thetongue C fits into the flat socket a of the supportingdisk A, while the flange Z9 binds by the slits Z2. on each side of the socket and locks thereby the holderB rigidly in position on the socket of the disk A. The tongue C is provided with longitudinal corrugations for increasing the strength and stiffness of the same.

I/Vhen it is desired to remove the pole, the holder B is lifted up with` the end of the pole, so that the tongue C is removed from the socket d of the disk A, while when the pole is to be replaced in position the holder is placed on the end of the pole and the tongue inserted into the socket a until the slits b bind onboth sides of the socket d, in which position the holder is rigidly locked in position without being liable to wabble or turn on its axis, so that a reliable, simple, and effective curtain-pole socket is obtained.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as-new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. A curtain-pole socket formed of a disk having a flat socket bent up from the saine, said disk being attached to the door or window-casing, and of a cylindrical holder having an inwardly-bent iiange, and a downwardly-extending tongue fitting into the socket of the disk, substantially as set forth.

2. A curtain-pole socket composed of a disk having a fiat socket bent up from the same, and a cylindrical holder having an inwardlybent flange, and a downwardly'- extending tongue made integral therewith, said iiange being separated by short slits from the base of the tongue, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

HARRY TAYLOR.
